I just went through this on another car.
The issue is that the draw of juice (Amps) is so small the vehicle does not detect it. It's a safety issue because if you set the cruise and go like 70 and tap the brake to turn it off, the auto won't turn the cruise off and you cruise right on into the back of some Semi. It's like having the throttle stuck on.
Ok so, I go check out the "KIT" they sell that are resisters. $18 All it is is same resisters they sell at radio shack for $1.79 They make a draw, in fact such a large one it's not worth the price you spend on the lights, in my case I was looking to saving the draw and that is why I went LED.
The resisters actually draw more amps than a factory bulb, they even generate heat! = Lots of battery drain, concern if you broke down and had 911 lights flashing for an hour or so.
So, what I did was just install a license plate light in line (Very small bulb) but enough to trip the cruise and make the flasher work. because with LED the flasher also won't work because it can't detect the draw.
So you can take care of that problem with the radio shack resistors, (I can get you PN) or a bulb in line.
Now, as far as the LEDs being legal. I guess they would be after you installed a resistor or bulb to make the cruise trip because I can't see them being illegal for lack of light, but you have to check that out.
